TechTalk: Industry News

In this third Tech Talk article in a five-part series about Magnetic Torque and Magnetic Linear Couplers, we take a closer look at Magnetic Linear Couplers. Similar to a Magnetic Torque Coupler, a Magnetic Linear Coupler relies on the magnetic interaction between two coupler halves. As in the Torque Coupler, usually one half is the driver, and the other half is the follower. Linear Couplers are often simpler to design and to construct when compared to Torque Couplers because the movement is linear and non-rotational…

This Tech Talk article is the first in what will become a five-part series of articles focusing on Magnetic Torque and Magnetic Linear Couplers. Magnetic Torque and Magnetic Linear Couplers are used for applications where non-mechanical contact is desired. They are employed in high-vibration applications or where two operating environments need to be separated.
